It has been warm summer weather for two weeks, con- tinuously. May 14. Went with Mrs. Blease to explore shore near the new miner harbor at Richmond. The tide was out too far but there were many shore birds there as hereafter we will not need to go so far for shore birds. The small flock seemed to be red-backed sandpipers but there were larger birds farther out. Returned to Mrs. Blease where we had lunch in her beautiful patio then explored the grounds (12 acres) A pair of Olive sided flycatchers and a small flock of waxwings were the most interesting finds - the latter showed white patches in the wings. Leyalis bruntige were perhaps the most abundant birds. Cold, foggy. May 15. Commencement day - chilly worked in garden. Duck to nest with young calling in oak tree at entrance. May 17. C. O.
